Roland leaned back a little in his chair, as he listened to the conversation going on. When The rep of the lightning clan finished talking, and mandalore set him with a question, roland smirked, as he slowly removed his helmet. The republic has been through hell for the last few decades. The sith crusades, and the extermination of the jedi is being recovered from soon. What honor is there from defeating a weak opponent? He shrugged, before adding, On the other hand, i have had dealings with the army of light before it became thus, and it seems to me that they have a hidden agenda... He shook his head, before looking to the others around them.

"Hmph, my masters always told me I was too nice for my own good..." Hatori answered with the briefest of snickers before stepping forward. The droid guarding the door stepped to its side, impeding his path.
"Directive: This is a private party and none other then those on official business may enter," the droid snapped at Hatori, "Proposal: So why don't you make like the other meat bags and take the tailgate around back."
Hatori raised an eyebrow, glancing down at the blaster rifle now trained in his general direction, "That's interesting..." he said under his breath, trying to figure what to make of the situation, "actually... I am on official business. I've been sent here by the Emperor to speak with the one called Mandalore."
"Condescending Response: Try and understand my adolescent organic friend, the Emperor holds no sway here on Mandalore. Only Mandalor himself decides what is and is not 'official business'," The droid answered. Hatori's gaze shortened and a small scowl formed on his face, not pleased with the driod's blatant condescension.
"Hmph... if that's how it is then I guess I'll just... disappear..." Hatori faded into the shadows just as Karite had done, but this time in plain sight of the droid. Hatori followed the feeling of Karite until he reemerged next to him on board.
"Certainly some characters around these parts... sorry for the delay. Shall we?"

"I'm afraid I haven't had dealings with either side save for the old republic. Your right, they have been beaten down for quite some time over the past few decades. The army of light keeps it's information well hidden and not much is known outside it's ranks, I'm curious as to whether or not they even care or know about this gathering." said Mandalore and almost as he finished the door to the room began to open. Karite and Hatori walked through, both their white robes flowing in and standing a respectable distance away.
Bermfad took one look at these characters and crossed his arms. "And who are these two jokers?" asked Bermfad before they bowed.
"We're representatives from the Empire," started Karite but was cut short by Mandalore.
"I don't remember inviting the Empire to Mandalore." he said curtly, as he waited for them to explain more. Karite glanced about the room for a moment and his suspicons were correct, Ash the Lightning was here, along with the Mandalorian related to Elifain Drakain. Roland. Those were possibly the only leads to the Army of light however it seemed that had another situation on their hands.

My loyalty lies with those with true honor and courage. That is here with our brothers and sisters. I know both sides of this war, and have ties to both sides. In fact, I can gain access into the Army of Light and work to gain their trust.
Ash felt a twich in the force, causing his head to turn. He only felt it when they made their way in by jumping through the void. Ash slowly stood up, pushing his chair back. He was in full battle mode when Karite and his parner walked in.
He wished he was in his custom armor right now, but this one would due if a fight broke out. He opened himself to the force finally, the electrical energy causing a small draft to blow through the room and raise up everone's hair. He spoke in basic as he spoke to Karite.
Karite, its been a while, but where is the other sith puppet, Elifain? This one doesn't seem to be him,
Ash's hand touched his lightsaber on his belt right by his right hand. His swords hilts over his right shoulder twinkled as they caught the light. When Ash spoke, his voice was chilly, but it didn't hold the menace it did when he was basking in the dark side. His force aura remained neutral, hiding anything. His legs showed he was ready to jump and fight in an instant, but his upper body was, like his aura and face under his helmet, was neutral. His T-visor just staired at Karite. [/sub]

Roland quietly stood, as he heard the door open, and ash's quick standing. He reached down, and grabbed his helmet, strapping it to his side, before looking towards the door. He noticed Hatori, and karite, before he heard Ash's comment, about elifain, and cast a quick glance to the side. He looked back, and noted Karite casting a quick glance at him, but didn't say anything about it. He quietly reached to the vibro-blade, strapped to his back, the handle down by his left side, and flicked off the strap, holding it there, before drawing it out of the split sheith he had made for it. Say the word, Mandalore... He said calmly.

Hatori glared at Ash as he hopped up ready for a fight. Hatori didn't make any move for his weapons, his arms remaining in his robes as his sleeves lay limply at his sides.
"I'm sorry that Elifain couldn't make it, but I will have to do in his stead. My name is Hatori Akunin. I apologize for the interruption, we do not wish to start a fight. My master has sent me here on a very important mission. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter... that is of course if you would be so kind as to hear our offer..."

Mandalore leaned to one side at the current predicument. It was a situation just waiting to get out of hand. Bermfad was ready for whatever happened, but he decided to leave his smart ass comments out of it for once.
"Judging by the reaction I just got from my men I'm going to assume they know you somehow. How they do is another question for another time." said Canderous as he took a moment to consider the two in front of them, and the situation. He hadn't had any dealings with the empire as of yet, and this would mark the first encounter. Best not to get off on the wrong foot.... at least not at first. "What exactly is your offer....?"

Ash had a feeling of what this Hatori character wanted even before he finished talking. His eyes narrowed, it was only then that Ash reached up and removed his helmet, and set it on the table. He ran a hand through his dyed brown/blonde hair as he set his eyes on Hatori. It felt good to have his ears out of that helmet. He didn't look like the human he use to be, but rather the full Ki-So-Longe he was now.
You want the army of light, do you not? You want to find Jor Halcyon and have him and the entire Army of Light wiped clean from the galaxy. You came here seeking someone to take you to them, correct? I know you you work. I use to be just like you.
His eyes fell on Karite as he spoke his last words. He didn't need to probe anyone's mind to know what they wanted. He should be dead on the money, and if not, then he should be close. It was then that he realised that he spoke over mandalore.
My apologises, Mandalore, for speaking out of terms. I know one of these Siths. [/sub]

Rolands eyes on the two aruetii *outsiders*, blinking a few times, but other than that, remaining quiet. This was a conversation between the two, and mandalore, no matter how Ash saw it. He kept his vibro-blade down to his side, but his knee's were bent, ready to spring into action, if the two aruetii took a threatening pose towards Mandalore. He didn't know either of the men, as far as he could remember, but he recognized them as force users.

Hatori gave a small smirk, deciding against stepping toward Mandalore seeing how trigger happy the others seemed to be, "Your insights serve you well, Mandalorian," Hatori said in response to Ash, "I realize that you are not stupid. Any act made in favor of the Empire is an act of war against the Army of Light, and no act of war should be made lightly. I do not expect you to give your answer now, but my master is indeed seeking information concerning the location of the Army of Light... and the Jedi."
Hatori paused a moment, his mind racing but showing no outward visible signs before he continued, "I am sure that my master would greatly appreciate your assistance. The Empire's army is strong, but pales in comparison to what I've seen here. With skills such as yours I am quite certain the Emperor would be willing to meet whatever conditions you may require..."

"The Emperor is none of my consern. War between the Army of Light and the Empire is not mine, being dragged into this is something I would rather avoid, but if it turns necessary to intervine I will." said Canderous as he folded his hands before him. "I'm afraid I know nothing about the Army of Lights location so you are at a loss. If my men know anything about their location it is up for them to decide whether to disclose that information to you."
"For the record, we're not mercenaries to be Bartered with." said Bermfad seemingly to finish Mandalore's statement. Mandalore himself didn't give any signs of disagreeing with it either. "You can tell your Master I bode no Ill feelings for the Empire, but we aren't going to work for him or under him. If he wants an alliance with the Mandalorians he's going to have to come here himself."

Ash's eyes twitched at Hatori's words. So Ash was right about what they wanted, and they indeed did come here to try to discover the Army's location. Ash knew where they were at right now, but he wouldn't disclose that information. It was the key to his next step of teaching. Slowly, he used Kale's presance to hide his own thoughts, so that if anyone was to probe his mind, they would only find the sadistic mind.
Ash's eyes narrowed as Bermfad spoke. Now Lord Cain may really show up, though as a shadow clone, and he may drag Lord Nanashi with him. That would be very interesting indeed, bringing his old masters here.
Lets hope he doesn't show up. I also doubt anyone could find the Army of Light unless they already knew where they were. [/sub]

Hatori narrowed his eyes at Ash, though he could sense the deception in him there was no real cause to call him on it here. Instead Hatori focused on Mandalore and Bermfad's comments.
"I see," Hatori said with a light sigh, "I'm sorry to hear that. Though I respect your decision," He said, lowering his head to Mandalore before listening to Bermfad, "The Emperor is a busy man, though I'm sure he'd send his apologies for being unable to present this request in person. Just be sure that you Mandalorians are aware that this is indeed a war, and like it or not it will find its way to your doorstep sooner or later. I only hope that when that time comes we will not be forced to encounter one another under less desirable circumstances."

Roland snickered at the thought of two lords of darkness coming to the planet, but still remained quiet. As far as he saw, He owed no loyalty to the Army of light, despite dropping one of his charges into their laps, but figured it would be best to keep Makayla and Komoko away from the clutches of the Empire. Neither of them would go willingly into the darkside, he knew. He cut a quick glance to ash, again wondering how this man new his brother, and marveling at the irony of his comment.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want to kick your ass either." said Bermfad off handily. Mandalore looked up to Hatori one last time before commenting.
"War's no stranger to us, It's been our way of life since before you were born lad." said Mandalore as he waited for the two to exit the room, for it seemed their request for information had come up fruitless for now. Whether or not his men knew the location of the Army of Light he did not know, but it appeared for the time being the Empire and his Mandalorians where not in open war. There would be tensions however he could tell.
